A pit bull that attacked a woman and killed her small dog Thursday has been banned from Wausau.

The injured 56-year-old Wausau woman was walking her Chihuahua at about 4:30 p.m. Thursday in the 900 block of Washington Street when the pit bull ran out of a house, said Wausau Police Lt. Dwayne Dachel.

When the woman picked up her dog, the pit bull bit her left arm twice and dragged her to the ground, Dachel said. Another police report Dachel cited said the dog bit her head, as well. When the woman fell, her dog fell out of her arms, and the pit bull grabbed the dog and shook it to death. ...
